Abortion is healthcare, and the right to safe abortions saves lives. I am deeply committed to ensuring abortion care is accessible in King County and Washington State, including for those traveling from other states to exercise their reproductive rights safely and with dignity.

As the lead... sponsor of the legislation funding the Northwest Abortion Access Fund and the council motion opposing the Dobbs decision, I’ve worked hard to safeguard reproductive rights in our region.

If elected as King County Executive, I will continue the fight to protect and expand reproductive rights.

As a member of the hospital funding leadership group, I made sure Harborview Medical Center has the funding it needs to provide life-saving care and essential public health services to everyone in our community. I also worked to improve public safety, expand affordable housing, and help people ...experiencing homelessness find stable, supportive homes.

These are steps toward building a healthier, safer King County for all of us, but I know there’s so much more to do. I’m committed to getting it done.

Arts and culture are an essential part of healthy individuals and healthy communities. That’s why I’m so proud of King County’s Doors Open program, an initiative I have championed for almost a decade which is now delivering nearly $800 million to enrich and expand arts and cultural spaces ...across our region.

Supporting programs like Doors Open is one of the most rewarding parts of my work, and I’ll continue to champion efforts that help our region grow in ways that are not just strong but soulful.
